Hello Sly Bald Guys!
Since a while I'm member of this forum and post today for the first time. I'm 29 years old, lived in Germany, and have been interested in a smooth bald head for over 10 years. There is no reason. It's only cool! I sometimes had a buzzcut in 1,5 - 6 mm, but couldn't keep it. When a couple of my friends said me that it doesn't suit me and I should grow hairs back, then I thought all people thought so. I had no confidence to be how I wanted to be. Now I have a normal short hairstyle.
But this forum changed my mind a little. Actually I imagine now to have my head shaved completely in a barber on the first day in this summer vacation, shave it everyday in the vacation and keep it after that too... The long holidays is a good chance to change myself. I hope I could really encourage me through the communication with you in this forum and be how I really want to be in the coming summer :)
P.S. I post my picture, when I had buzzcut in 1,5 mm. It was 2 and a half years ago...

Nicolaus,
It's really nice to be bald by choice, BBC. You look good in the snapshot with the very short hair.
And bald is a very current hair style for any guy. You'll carry it well.
-
Welcome aboard!
I am sure you will love the bald look. I look forward to having a smooth head every day now. Feels refreshing and 'right'
-
Welcome. I had a similar experience to you in that I waited for many years before finally shaving my head by choice.
-
Hi Nicolaus,
as Mrzed said: it is really nice to be bald by choice. If you really want to be bald don't mind what others say. They will accept your bald look soon.
I shaved my full head of hair in 2012 and I still love being bbc.
-
BBC looks good on you guys, BBCESQ and bbc2012
Hope to see Nicolaus BBC shortly.
-
Welcome aboard and good luck with doing the deed!
-
Hey guys, thank you for your lovely comments! I hope I'll be sonn a REAL member of this forum!

Hello BBCESQ, thank you for your comment. I'm interested in your first shaving story as one of potential BBCs. Could you tell me about it a little bit, or have you already written it in another thread?

Hi bbc 2012, I'm glad to find a sly who lives in Germany... In which city do you live? I come from Stuttgart.
-
I hope you'll take the next step and go smooth, since you look awesome with the 0 buzz. You can tell smooth we be an equally good look for you.

Welcome to SBGs!!! 8)

Welcome to the club, Nicolaus. You'll look good sly. Where it with pride.
-
Welcome aboard. It looks good nite and will be even better when you take it down all the way.
-
Hey mate, thank you so much for your comments encouraging me :) Now I think also my buzzcut looked good, although I wasn't sure as my friends suggested me to grow hairs back. Yes, there were people who didn't like my buzzcut, but also people who asked me afterwards why I had grown it back! They praised the good shape of my head and said how sexy my buzzcut was. But it was too late. It was too difficult for me to go back smooth again after the full of hairs had grown up... I'll never listen to all of negative comments more, and I'll hear only comments supporting and encouraging my motivation when I shave my hair down in a couple of months :*))
-
Welcome to SBG. You will look great with a smooth chrome dome.
-
Welcome Nicolaus ... it's "only" hair. Do as you want it to be. Friends may say they don't like it only because it is a change and they worry it will change you. Be true to yourself.
-
Hi Nikolaus,
I am also from Germany. I shaved a few times over the last few years. But since January I shave daily - and I love it. I do it just for the look and the feel. I am not balding that badly. Shaving my head (and growing a beard) was the best fashion choice I have ever made. Do it if you want to. Don't let other people tell you it looks bad. Some will. My boyfriend and my mother keep complaining. In the past this stopped me. But not this time. So do what you want!

About 20 years ago, I took a vacation to L.A. for a week, and the first thing I did was go to an old-fashioned barber shop and get it all taken off, wet shaved, completely gone. It was a big shock to see myself in the mirror, but by the end of the week I liked it, and I was used to it, so I didn't feel self-conscious when I came back home. Today, no one can imagine me with hair, especially me.
-
Welcome, Nicolaus. You look good clipped down, and you'll look about the same--but FEEL a lot better--totally shaved. Keep us posted.
-
Welcome to SBG Nicolaus! Hopefully by now, with a great board to voice your thoughts and get ideas - you're already rubbing that beautiful smooth skull and smiling as you read this.
The short hair looks great on you but nothing beats the smoothness of a shaved dome. :)
-
Welcome Nicolaus
-
Thank you, all mates who wrote me so many encouragement and welcoming. I had before often imagined to have a completely smooth bald head, but not so concretely. It had been always fantasy. But since I came into this forum, my image's been quickly getting more and more concrete. Now I have a specific plan. When, how and in which barbershop (I'd like to have the head shaved by a professional barber at first.) I'll become a real sly. Actually I want to realize it just now, but I should wait a little. The next summer vacation is absolutely the best timing for me to do a big changing.
-
Nicolaus,
You will not regret it man! Trust me. You will look great and rock it!! You look good with the zero buzz and sunglasses but sly will be much better. I know the anxiety that you're feeling because I was in those same shoes a couple of days ago. When you decide to become sly, your confidence will increase significantly. I love looking at myself after getting dressed with my head shaved. It's hard to describe the feeling but it's AWESOME to say the least. I have been approached by people differently but in a good way since I went sly. It is one of the best decisions I have made in my 28 years of being on Earth. The way I look being sly gives me motivation to better myself physically.
-
I wonder if he will make it to summer vacation, or will he jump the gun and just go for it?
-
Hey AJ Q-Ball, thank you for your posting. Yes, of course I trust you. Your story gives me courage. Everyone on this board who had worried before deciding to do it found somehow, but absolutely the way to live happily as a sly. I also will carry out to do it O0
mrzed, don't rash me! I also want to go for it just now, but must do it carefully to succeed my big changing smoothly. ;)

No rush. I just remember that I set a date and jumped the gun myself, and so have a number of other guys on this site. Take your time, but as you get closer to your 'date' you may find you just want to go ahead with it now instead of waiting, as planned.
Yep, the first days can create a little anxiety. You don't know what others will think, and your new looks take awhile for you to get used to it. But as the guys here will testify, shaving your head is a boost and the negative comments, if any, don't last.
-
Anxiety is a part of life, so is anticipation! :)
When I got an incredibly close buzz (from a barber) I realized how close I *really* was to being bald and the razor did the rest for me! Now, I can't imagine ever going back to the buzzed look, even though I really liked the feel of short hair. Smooth rules!
Nicolaus, go at the pace you want/need and you'll get there. I was really anxious the first few days, I needed to learn the art of the shave and step it up to a new level. Now I feel like an "old hand" and I don't even think about it anymore, I just roll and let everyone decide for themselves whatever they want to decide. Good luck!
-
You look really great. Haven't seen you with hair but I like the way you look.
I'm trying to get the balls to shave mine.

Nice site and interesting article about shaving, although slanted towards the face, could also apply to your head.

Thank you for the sharing, Mr Zed :-) I'll maybe go completely smooth on the next weekend. After the very close buzz cut I'm not afraid to shave it completely at all. Today I cut hairs myself without guard --- my hair length is now ca. 0,3-0,5mm. Even if I wouldn't like my smooth head after the first shaving action, the hair would grow so long in 1-2 days. I hesitate to do it now because I'm especially too busy in these weeks and it's still a little bit too cold. Because it'll be a milestone of my life, I want to do my first shaving action when I can concentrate only it, and the temperature in Germany will go up in the next week. I cannot wait for the next weekend!! :-)
